Trick or Treat

First words out of Anthony's mouth this morning were "Is it time to go trick-or-treating now?"

Finally the time came and we were off! Ciaran came over (3rd time in a row, though people have stopped mistaking them for twins) and they had a grand old time RUNNING from house to house.

They still were more than happy to stop and enjoy the decorations. One house had gravestones where the top would life and a ghost would come out. It was pretty funny watching Anthony peer behind it, trying to figure out how it all worked.

I gave out books again this year. Reception was generally positive, "Oooh, books!", especially from the parents. One Dad and I really had to convince a child that he really wanted "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe." Silly child! A few kids rejected books and then were sent on their way! I'll do it again next year. House hasn't been egged yet.

Anthony's haul was pretty heavy on "the good stuff". Unfortunately for him, he prefers the horribly sweet stuff--laffy taffy, skittles, candy corn, lollipops. He's been pretty generous about sharing his candy with Mommy and Daddy. Probably the last time that will happen.
